I delivered mail to Mike at his office (837 S. 4th) for 18 years. We always chatted for a while. Really nice man. One day we were talking about morel mushrooms. Mike sais he hunted them. I left his office and walking to my next stop I spotted a six inch morel just outside his office window. Went back in and showed it to Mike. He was to see it and wished he would have seen it before me. RIP Mike.
